Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) chief coordinator S. Seeman, 55, has approached the Madras High court with a plea to quash a rape case registered against him by the Valasaravakkam police in Chennai years ago, on the basis of a complaint lodged by an actress who had acted in one of his movies when he was a film director.
Justice N. Anand Venkatesh is slated to take up the quash petition for admission on Wednesday along with a sub application seeking an interim stay of all further proceedings in the case. The party leader has termed as false all the allegations levelled against him and alleged political motives behind the case.
In the petition, filed through his counsel S. Xavier Felix and S. Shankar, he said, the actress had lodged the complaint way back in 2011 and withdrawn it in 2012 by conceding that she had complained in a hasty manner due to misguidance and insistence of certain elements who posed themselves as her well wishers.
